Taekwondo Diary

I'm active again I'm sorry

I would like to apologize about not being active. On new years eve I tore my LCL so I couldn't do any taekwondo. So let me refresh the past weeks the first week I've been back in taekwondo for.

Let's see, something interesting happened Monday during our leadership class.

Class had just started and 5 minutes in we were told to line up, when our secretary.(who is a black belt.) Came up and pulled me as side and told me to go easy.

And if I don't go easy that she'll hit me, and to make sure to tell my instructors.

I nodded ot of fear and went to rejoin the class.

Now

THIS IS WHEN THINGS GET AWKWARD.

we just lined up with our partners when the secretary yells to the intructor leading the class.

"Hey *intructors name*, make sure jocelyn goes easy, if she doesn't hit her, it's her first class back after her surgery."

I FROZE AT THIS. I DIDN'T GET SURGERY. NO I DIDN'T.

I could hear small gasps and oh...'s and I could FEEL THE pity around me and then the instructor walked over to me quietly to see if I was alright.

I started to shake my head no and look to the secretary.

"Oh! Yes, sorry, injury, it's her first day back since her injury. If she tries too hard hit her."

I awkwardly stood there letting her clear up the misunderstanding. It's never been so awkward but oh well. Life goes on.

So after that were doing class and we have to kick, since I'm not allowed to try hard I just do light kicks, (which are still kinda hard).

And this one guy goes, "why don't you kick hard?", my sister says that I hurt my knee.

Then he says,"it's not like her normal kick is that hard anyways.", everyone laughs and I just stopped and looked at him.

"Was that suppose to be an insult or?", I said because I didn't laugh at all and he was still snickering.

Meh

Anyways the next class we had to do kicking drills constantly. I just ended up holding the target for my partner the whole time while they kicked. I got more arm strength. They got more leg power. Good deal.

And after two classes in one week. After a whole month of absence. I GET PUT ON THE STRIPE TEST. which happens to be tomorrow a Tuesday.

I do have class today, and I was hoping to touch up on what I need to remember and do for the stripe test because I'm gojng down the well if I forget. I hopefully will be able to remember everything tomorrow, so other than that there's nothing really else to touch up on.

I have to where a knee brace for any sport I do. I've also gotten back to volleyball, which is helping to strengthen my knee back to its former non injured glory.

WAIT THERE IS ANOTHER THING.

after my last class on Thursday, my sister had driven us jnto the city for tkd so I got changed, bowed, and left the building without speaking to anyone or saying a proper goodbye. And I was waiting outside beside her truck which was behind the building.

It's ten minutes later and almost everyone's left and my sister still hasn't come out. I start to get worried and wondering what's taking her so long.

RIGHT AS I MAKE UP MY MIND TO START WALKING BACK TO THE BULGING.
I hear my sister yelling me name. So of course I yell loudly WHAT.

She then looks over at me like a gopher and runs back into the building, leaving me there questioning what the Fricken MCCHICKEN she's doing. She comes rushing back out with her bags saying how she thought I was killed or kidnapped.

I looked at her and said, "did you realize that I do taekwondo, and that I'm behind the tkd building? I bowed to everyone when I left."

'WELL EVERYONE SAID THEY DIDN'T SEE YOU LEAVE SO I THOUGHT YOU GOT KILLED.", ok.

Turns out while I was waiting those ten minutes that there was a mini search party going on inside the building for me because nobody could find me. Apparently I even made people go downstairs to look for me.

I've officially learned how to sneak away without anyone noticing.

I did bow to everyone, and all the people I bowed to said they didn't see me at all.

OH MY GOODNESS WHY.

I'm so expecting to be bugged when I get to class today about it. My sister has already told alot of people about what happened.

I kinda feel sorry for everyone. I didn't even try to sneak out. I just walked out of the building without talking. It's official. My voice is my presence. If I don't speak nobody will notice me.

It's actually happened a few times before. I wouldn't speak and when people noticed me they'd jump away from me and ask when I got there.

If anything exciting happens at my class tonight I will update again.

PEACE I'M OUT✌
